How a Day is Gained.

A writer in Chambers Journal explains
how a day is gair ed in trip around the
world: According to the way in which
this arrangement is now carried ont, the
first land that the new day dawns on is
Easter Island, about 230 miles west of
Chilli. c.: The I'd of July breaks here
within few hours of the first having
broken on the American coast to the
east, and the two days run on alongside
the I'd on Easter Island and places
west, the 1st in all places on the Amer
ican Continent. We may, therefore,
realize this idea: That at 7:2O o'clock
any morning of our lives in Great Britain
the next day is commencing on the
world, and is to be found in this little
island in the Pacific Ocean, whence in
due course it will travel around to us.
But to have thus the start of the world is
not m unmitigated advantage to these
islanders. Suppose one of them sails east
to America, what is the result2 He will
find they keep the day there under diff
ferent date, and he will have to reckon
one day of his calendar twice over to put
himself right with their notions. On the
other hand, if an American crosses from
east to west this wonderful magic line
where the day begins, he will find the
dates of this fresh part of the world ale
one in advance of him, and he must needs
strike day out of his calendar to keep
up with the times.

Rice vs.. Oatmeal.

The Boston Record informs US that rice
is taking the place of oatmeal in this
country, and that oatmeal is not ap-
proved by most thinking hygienists: We
are also told that rice is more easily di-
gestcd, nutritious and withal amiable food
than oatmeal This is newspaper chem
istry, which is generally wrong. There
may be objections to oatmeal; but to say
that rice is more nutritious is simple nom
sense. Oatmeal only lacks fat to make q
perfect food. and this can readily be
added by butter. Rice, on the other
hand, lacks not only fat, but all al
buminoids. See the analysis of the two: ::
Oatmeal contains a higher percentage
of albumnolds than any other grain,
viz: 1875, that of wheat being
1913, and of rice none, and
less of starch, 5s.4, as against
66.3 in wheat and SO. in rice. 1t has
rather more sugar, 5.4, wheat having
only AZ, and good deal more fat, viz. !;
5.6, against 90 in -four, and in rice, O.S.
Lastly, salts amount to 80 per 'cnt. in
oats, but only IL in wheat. and 90 in
rice. AS the value of food depends en-
tirely upon its albuminoids, it is clearly
seen that oatmeal is infinitely superior to
all other cereals. -.Imci ican .AnatYst.

A Dog With a Conscience.

have little silver-mounted Malacca
cane that I sometimes carry when walk
ing out with the dogs. This stick
Smith is never allowed to carry, as his
teeth would leave too many traces be-
hind; and his most eloquent pleadings
to have it "just once" are always met
with steady denial. One day had
accidentally left this cane lying upon the
lawn, and l saw from an upper window
struggle of Smiths conscience over
his wishes that really did him the great
est credit.
AS he was playing about the lawn by
himself, he suddenly came unawares
upon the long-coveted treasure. He
stopped and stared at it eagerly, and
then looked carefully round him. I
was hidden behind the window curtain
and there was nobody in sight. Then
began the battle with himself. He
looked at the stick; he smclt it care
fully all the way along; he drew back
little to gaze at it, and licked his lips
with the delight of anticipation. Then
he approached and smclt it once more,
and it seemed Just as if he must take it
up and pull it to pieces, as he loves to
do. But all of a sudden his better ma
ture came 10 his aid. He turned his
back upon temptation, and sat down with
his head the other way, guarding the
treasure till his mistress should claim it,
but not touching himself what he knew
he was not allowed to have.
This may seem small victory to those
who do not know Smiths passion for u
stick, but such of his friends who are
aware of this trait will appreciate his
self restraint. - Casselps Magazine.

Recipes.

GINGER NUTS. Three pounds of -four,
three -fourths of a pound of butter rub
bed into one-half pound of sugar, one
pint of treacle, two ounces of ginger,
onc-half nutmeg, one-fourth of tea.
spoonful of cinnamon. Make the dough
stiff and kncad it hard tor ten minutes
cut into cakes and bake.
TURSIPs IN GRAvY.-Peel and boil
some turnips in salted water, to which
half tcaspoonful of sugar has been
added. Slice them half an inch thick
and put them in a stew-pan with two
ounces of butter to large vegetable dish
full of the turnips, shake them until they
are lightly Drowned. Season with salt,
pepper, and trifle of mace and sugar:
pour over a pint of good, brown gravy,
and when quite hot serve them in it.
OYSTER Soup.-Put two quarts of oys-
tiers, liquor and all, in pan, set them on
the stove to heat, but do not let them
boil, or come very near toit. Now drain
all the liquor into the soup kettle, and
put in pint of new milk, half pound
of butter, and little whole allspice and
pepper. Have the oysters all this time
where they will keep warm, and then
salt to taste, just as you are ready to
serve the soup, and put into the boiled
up soup before the oysters are added.
Salt should always be the last thing put
into any soup, stew or fricassee where
milk is used, or it is apt to curdle.
Oysters should never be boiled, but only
scalded; boiling makes them tough and
shrinks them up.

Corn Bread in Rhyme.

Here is rhymed recipe for corn brea
that, like the rhyme of the months, wi
be much more likely to linger in the bus
brain of the housewife than any amour
of prose on the subject:
Two cups of Indian, one cup of wheat,
One cup sour milk, one cup sweet,
One good egg that well you beat,
Half cup molasses, too,
Half cup sugar add thereto,
With one spoon of butter new,
Salt and soda each q spoon;
Mix up quickly and bake it soon.
Then you'll have corn bread complete,
Best of all corn bread you'll meet,
1t will make your boys eyes shine
If he's like that boy of mine.
If you have dozen boys
To increase your household joys,
Double then this rule should,
And you'll have two corn cakes good.
When you've nothing else for tea
This the very thing will be;
ALI the men that have seen
Say it is Of cakes the queen
Good enough for any king
That q husband home can bring;
Warming up the human stove,
Cheering up the h arts you love;
And only Tyndall can explain
The links between corn bread and brain.
Get husband what he likes
And save hundred household strikes,

Useful Hints.

Keep salt in dry place and cheese in
a tin box.
Vinegar and salt will often restore tar
nished tire-sets and brass work of all
kinds, when even the patent preparations
fail.
TO remove machine oil from cotton
goods rub the spots with hard soap and
soft water, as soon rs they are observed,
and they can be easily taken out.
Boiled potatoes ought to be laid out on
plate, and are then as good for frying
or mashing as if freshly cooked. If left
heaped up they will often spoil in one
night.
A lump of soda laid upon the drain
pipe down which waste water passes will
prevent the clogging of the pipe with
grease, especially if the pipe be flooded
every week with boiling water.
For removing stains from oilcloth and
zinc, use kerosene. 1t will soon evapor-
ate and leave no odor. Kerosene may
safely be applied to the most delicate
furniture and carpets for exterminating
moths.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. .
A Use for Crane Leaves.

II WONDER" says lady who is inter-
ested in household matters, ''if house
wives generally use fresh, green grape
leaves to put on top of their pickles to
keep them sharp and free from mould.
I used to cover them with flannel cloth
and rinse it out every other day. Two
years ago friend of mine told me that
grape leaves were much nicer, so I tried
them, and shall never try cloth again.
Grape leaves keep pickles the best of
anything ever found. I change them
once a week, and the vinegar keeps sharp
and clear, and imparts nice favor to
the pickles. I rinse the leaves in pure
water, and let them drain quite dry, then
lay them over every place in the jar.
They exclude the air perfectly, and are
better and cause less work than anything
else."

At first many thought it to be trouble Of

Rritlal Customs

Among the customs peculiar to we'd
ding occasions, the ring and bride-c cake
seem to be of the most remote antiquity,
the latter being modern improvement
on the heather practice of using cake
of wheat or barley at marriage. The
presenting of the gifts to the bride is
also of very old origin, the favorite pres
ent in the Middle Ages being pot Of
butter, which was brought forward as
soon as the happy couple returned home
from church, and which was supposed
to presage plenty and an abundance of
good things. Other bridal gifts peculiar
to the olden time, were scarfs and laces,
and, what is stranger still, a pair OF
knives, which it was the fashion for
women to wear sheathed and suspended
from their sirdles. Among the Greeks,
Romans, Jews and many Eastern nations,
it was the custom for the bridegroom to
place a considerable sum Of money in a
purse or plate and give it to his wife at
the time of the wedding; but in early
English times the bride asked for any
amount she pleased, which the husband
could not, in honor, refuse.
Not very long ago, so much were we'd
ding gifts thought of in Cumberland,
England, that when poor but respect
able couple decided to marry, they ad-
vertiscd the fact in the county paper,
heading the "Invitation," as it was
termed, with some such couplet as:
Suspend for one day your cares and your
labors,
And come to this wedding, kind friends and
good neighbors'
The people for miles around would then,
on the cventful day, flock to the bride
groom's house, and there be entertained
by various games and pastimes; after
which each guest would drop a
contribution or "gift" into a bowl
or plate set for the purpose in con-
venicnt place. By this means enough
money was often collected to set the
newly married pair up in housekeeping.
